Episode Synopsis "It Takes a Village"

Judge JoAnne Garcia learned a very important lesson after the birth of her daughter Alexia while in high school, it truly takes a village to raise a child.  As Judge Garcia notes "Good people are willing to step up and lend a hand when you need them the most.  They want to be a part of all of your success."  With the support of her family and friends, Judge Garcia graduated the University of Texas law school, was a founding partner in the law firm Garza Garcia, PLLC, and in January 2019 was elected as Hidalgo County Probate Judge.
